Match Preview

Campbell boys banned
Brechin`s top goal scorer Rory McAllister returns from a two-match suspension to face Forfar.
However, boss Jim Weir confirmed an unnamed player was injured in training on Thursday.
He said: "It will be a real blow if this player does not make it as Forfar are on a great run and have a side packed with experience."
Weir could bring defender David White back from his loan spell at Newtongrange Star to cope with the reduced numbers caused by the latest injury, Barry Smith's move to Dundee and the long-term absence of Charlie King.
Forfar boss Dick Campbell looks set to start with Stephen Tulloch and Martyn Fotheringham at his former club.
That is because his sons - Ross and Iain - are suspended. Meanwhile, Kevin Fotheringham has joined Hill O'Beath Hawthorn on loan to leave the Station Park boss regretting the suspensions.
"It is a pity my boys are not able to play as they have been doing very well for us," said Campbell.
"We are down to 16 available players but we are undefeated in 4 games and heading into a big local derby with a fair degree of confidence.
"I enjoy games like this and it will be a real test of our ability to hold on to a play-off place."

Match Report

Off day for McAllister
Top scorer Rory McAllister could not find a way through as Brechin were held to a frustrating goalless stalemate by Forfar at Glebe Park.
He had enough chances to win the game for the home side, with a great save from Scott Gallacher on the half-hour mark to tip his free-kick over the bar denying him.
McAllister, returning from a two-match suspension, also hit a post after 18 minutes with a shot from close range.
Forfar could have snatched victory in the closing stages when Mark McCulloch clipped the bar with an effort that may well have been intended as a cross.
Brechin are now three points behind leaders Livingston.
